Because when they are a mechanical numpty, as a parent you would be absolutely devastated (in the true non-tabloid sense) if you stopped checking thier car and they had an accident. I understand why tim does it.
My son who is 20 is not a mechanical numpty and I just cast a glace at his van if he's around.
My daughter is 23 and a complete mechanical numpty. I check her car's tyres, pressures, fluids etc everytime I see it! I check her mileage to see if it needs a service..... as far as she is concerned you put petrol in and go..... I kow that and if she had a crash cos of this stuff I would not forgive myself. Yes she should do it herself, but I'm her dad and need to look after her.
